Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

We were due for Week 10 to happen and not just in the most obvious, literal sense that Week 10 would inevitably arrive after Week 9. Sometimes up is down, black is white, and dogs and cats live and dine together in harmony. In a week where DeMarco Murray and Kirk Cousins combined for five […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 11

There is less room for error for fantasy football owners with each passing week. With under a month before the playoffs start in most fantasy football leagues, this is not the time to blow lineup decisions as badly as the Indianapolis Colts blow their draft choice decisions. The same goes for players of one-day contests […]

Week 11 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

In a week where so many picks went so wrong, it's good to know that many others were just as wrong. Sleepers Eli Manning, Bilal Powell, and Corey Davis were all big whiffs, while purported busts C.J. Beathard, Jonathan Stewart, and Emmanuel Sanders had their best games of the season. I was almost shocked that […]

Week 11 Consistency Report - Floors and Ceilings

On Thursday night, I went to the Titans-Steelers game in person and was uber excited to watch a ton of different players. I was excited as always to see my Steelers play, but also players on the Titans side like Rishard Matthews, Eric Decker, Marcus Mariota, and of course, Corey Davis. I was also very […]

Week 11 Dynasty Matchup Previews

Dynasty owners don’t play week to week, they play long term. However, dynasty owners still need to analyze different aspects of weekly matchups to determine the best time to sell or buy a player. Make sure you don’t buy that hot rookie too soon and don’t sell the aging veteran too late. Each week, I […]

Fantasy Pop Quiz - Lineup Questions for Week 11

It's nice to remind myself when I'm wrong (there's a good "haha he's married now" joke in there, but that's low hanging fruit that's even too low for me) especially as I weep over the less-than-smoldering ashes of my fantasy teams. In the pre-season, I went back through years of fantasy scoring, estimating how different […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 11

I planned on writing up a long introduction about this current fantasy football season, but I had computer issues the entire time I was working on this week's column, so something had to suffer due to time constraints. I don't think it would be a good idea to let the actual bust picks suffer, so […]

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 11)

Russell Wilson is making a strong case for league-MVP consideration... The play that saw him spinning and dodging on the way to a 40-plus yard completion to Doug Baldwin shows not only how prolific of an athlete Wilson is, but also how he is the spark to this entire offense. He is putting together one […]

Monday Night Football Matchups and Starts/Sits (Week 10)

Happy Monday RotoBallers! Another week, another Monday. Tonight's Monday Night Football matchup pits together two teams going in very different directions. Once 4-2 with early playoff hopes, the Dolphins now find themselves trying to avoid a third consecutive loss in as many weeks, all under the national spotlight in primetime. They'll have to do so without (former) […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 10: Floors and Ceilings

The NFL season is flying by. It feels like yesterday we were preparing for the 2017 season; redraft leagues were kicking off, articles and draft kits were being sold and promoted daily, and dynasty players were hyping up their rookies and February sleepers. Now, it is Week 10, over halfway through the season and it […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 10

Oh, how time has flown by quicker than a Matthew Stafford pass. It feels like just last week that Kareem Hunt and Tyreek Hill were ravaging the New England Patriots defense, Adrian Peterson was on the New Orleans Saints and Aaron Rodgers was healthy. A lot has changed over the past two-plus months, but one […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

I just couldn't resist the urge, so you'll have to bear with me for a few more sentences while I gloat a bit. Sometimes it feels like we are wrong more than we are right in the world of fantasy football, yet we keep coming back or more like the addicts we are. Nothing feeds […]

Defying Logic - Scrubs Over Stars for Week 10

Not only have we heard this argument on podcasts, websites and among fellow fantasy football players, but we go through it in our heads every single week. Hopefully by this point in the season, you have established a bench with some worthy starters and are afforded the privilege of even considering such a blasphemous concept as […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 10

We're getting closer to the end of the season--we've reached the double-digit weeks now!--which means that the decisions you make become amplified. That can be good if you make some good choices, but it can also come back to bite you if you make some bad ones. Here at Rotoballer, we want to give you […]

Week 10 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

It finally happened. I think. Ezekiel Elliott will finally come out of double-secret probation and miss an actual game. Does that mean I'm all in on Alfred Morris? Hardly. Dak Prescott on the other hand... and you may be surprised at which receiver benefits most. As an expert ranker for RotoBaller and FantasyPros, I'll put my […]

Why T.Y. Hilton Needs to Remain in Your Lineup

Did you know T.Y. Hilton is currently second in the NFL in receiving yards? I sure didn't. It has been an indescribable roller coaster of emotions for T.Y. Hilton owners, culminating in two scenarios in Week 9: your faith in Hilton paid off and he carried you to victory with one of the five best […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 10): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

It was a high scoring and mostly lopsided Sunday. We saw two teams score 51 points, and even got to see three melees. I thought it would be underdog city, but instead, the favorites went 7-4-2 against the spread, 9-4 straight up. And the biggest favorite and team that seemed like a lock, the Seahawks, […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis (Week 10)

The AFC East might be one of the hottest divisions in all of football right now... The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets battled it out on the previous installment of Thursday Night Football, but game script ended up heavily favoring the Jets in a 34-21 victory. Bills fans should be readily aware that their […]

Monday Night Football Matchups and Starts/Sits (Week 9)

Happy Monday RotoBallers! Another week, another Monday. This season hasn't quite gone as planned for the Green Bay Packers. One of the preseason favorites to reach Super Bowl LII (that's 52), there's been a bit of a change of plans. Ever since lord and savior Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone in Week 6, the […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Picks

Sometimes we can outsmart ourselves, can't we? I believe I've said this before, but the Texans-Seahawks game last week is a perfect example of how common sense can just go right out the window when a game defies logic and statistical analysis. At that point, all our best research and prognosticating looks downright idiotic. Hopefully […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 9

The fantasy football season is at the halfway mark. Mining for booms and busts is getting more important with each passing week. Another half-dozen teams are on bye this week, including the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Minnesota Vikings and San Diego Chargers, four teams loaded with fantasy superstars. So figuring out the right booms […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 9

The Houston Astros won the World Series on Wednesday night. The Houston Texans lost Deshaun Watson for the rest of the season to a torn ACL during practice on Thursday. Houston sports--something good, then something bad. The Watson injury is a big one in terms of its fantasy impact, because Watson was playing not just […]
